Thanks for the patch.

I started reviewing this with the intent to commit it. But, I decided
while studying it that I want to separate the SKIP_PAGES_NONE case and
the other cases into two callbacks. I think it is easier to read the
skip pages callback this way. The SKIP_PAGES_NONE case is just read
all blocks in the range, so we can use the existing default callback,
block_range_read_cb(). Then the callback for the
SKIP_PAGES_ALL_VISIBLE and SKIP_PAGES_ALL_FROZEN options can be clear
and simple.

I've attached two versions with this proposed structure.

amcheck-readsteram-1callback.patch implements this with one callback
and has the amcheck specific callback private data struct subclass
BlockRangeReadStreamPrivate (I called it
heapamcheck_rs_perblock_data).

amcheck-readstream-2callbacks.patch wraps block_range_read_cb() in an
amcheck specific callback and creates a BlockRangeReadStreamPrivate
and fills it in from the heapamcheck_rs_perblock_data to pass as
callback_private_data. Because this version is more explicit, it is
more safe. We don't have any type checking facilities that will alert
us if someone adds a member above the BlockRangeReadStreamPrivate in
heapamcheck_rs_perblock_data. But, I'm open to feedback.
